Singer died tragically young: Amy Winehouse

I’m going to introduce about Amy Jade Winehouse. Although she became one of the most famous singers at a young age, she ended her short life, just 27 years.

I think she was always in an environment that she was exposed to music. She was born in England in 1983. Her father was a jazz singer and mother was a pharmacist. She formed a rap group at 10, and she was given a guitar from parents at 13. Although she entered to a drama school, she dropped out of the school because of her pierces and tattoos. After that, she sent a demo tape to a record company. It was highly regarded, and her first album was released at 20. She won five Grammys by hitting the second album, “Back to Black”.

Although she got married, both husband and wife became addicted to drugs, alcohol. She began a European tour. However, the audiences booed at a concert as she arrived late, and she was not in condition to sing by drunk. These scandals by paparazzi have cornered her. She was found dead in her home, and the cause of the death was determined to be alcohol intoxication.

The Love of a King - after reading

I read “ The Love of a King” and chose After reading #3.
Do you agree or disagree with these sentences?

1.    Edward was right to marry Wallis. Love is the most important thing in the world.

->It’s quite difficult question for me to decide, although I agree this sentence. A lot of people said that Money is important and I understand Money is necessary to live. The women can marry with rich man without Love, she just wants his money to live rich life or buy everything she wants. I cannot do that, I want to spend my time with person I loves.

2.  Wallis married Edward because he was rich and famous.

    -> I disagree with this sentence. She loved Edward not as a King. I think she knows that rich and famous are not important for her because she experienced married life with two men.

3.  The British Royal Family were very unkind to Edward.

-> I disagree because they have long story, if they accepted to Edward to marry Wallis, it damage the dignity of British Royal Family. I think Japan has also such a problem that the emperor should be a man etc.. People think about to do in the future.

4. Photographers should leave royal families alone. They need a private life just like other people.

 -> I agree with this sentence. Excess chase royal families like paparazzi lead to tragedy that Princess of Diana was died.  I think they need the private time as a person.

I’ve never known Edward story. Before reading this book, I watched “ The King’s speech” which is Edward’s brother Gorge story. He could not speak in front of people, so he practiced to be able to make a speech grandly. In the film, Edward is depicted a playboy and he doesn’t care country. It’s important for him to be with Wallis. After watching, I thought Edward is not good man, but I read this book my thinking was changed. I’m impressed that he abdicated and he married divorced women Wallis. During I was reading story, I could feel Edward spend good life with much Love for his after age. And I think if I would be faced to decide money or love, which I choose. I wish I could choose love like Edward.
